One cam moved during timing belt job.

I'm doing the timing belt /water pump job on my 98 4Runner SR5 w/3.4, and I need to ask a question before I move on. So its time to install the new belt, and for some dumb reason I grabbed the passenger side cam sprocket and tried to turn it clockwise just a wee bit. It jumped over to about 3o'clock. So, I went ahead and turned it clockwise until the marks lined up again. So here is my question....am I good to continue? Will making that one revolution on just one cam put it back where it needs to be or am I 180 degrees out on that one now? Thanks for any feedback; this is my first time tackling this job. And my first post here!

You are OK. One revolution will bring it back.
